Regarding the inquiries about an AP2 two iron: if there is not much demand among the Tour players, then there must be a few collecting dust somewhere. I am more than willing as a loyal customer for many years to buy one. Here in Scotland, the higher-lofted fairways and the 585.H utility that I have hit the ball too high when playing in a strong wind, unlike a two iron which is easier to keep lower in the wind. I am currently using my DCI 990 two iron with my new set of AP2s and ask if you could please advise me if it is a tapered or unitized shaft that is in my two iron as l am thinking of changing to the same shaft that is in my AP2 irons. Seriously, I think Titleist should consider producing an AP2 two iron as I have noticed on the internet that there are many golfers like myself making inquiries for this item.

My AP2s have changed the game for me. Almost surgical in their precision in both dispersion and distance, they’ve taken 15 strokes off my game and given me a ton of confidence. My reason in writing is that I need a club that I can count on to be on the spot at 235 - 240 yards and the most appropriate choice would be an 18° AP2. How may one go about obtaining a prototype head (I don’t mind going through my PGA store and paying full retail plus) and match it with the same shaft I’m using in my other AP2s?

Most players were reluctant to make big changes heading into a major championship. A few players experimented with lower-lofted drivers to try to keep the ball flight down. Many of the players did work with Voke to make sure their wedges were all set. And a lot of lower-lofted hybrids and irons were built as an additional option on the tee to help keep shots low in the wind.

We created some prototype AP2 2-irons for Tour-testing, but there wasn’t much demand among our Tour players for this club. Most of our players on Tour are opting to play either higher-lofted fairways or hybrids in lieu of 2-irons and sometimes even 3-irons.

I was interested in why the AP2 is not offered in a 2-iron? The long irons are incredibly easy to hit. Thanks and keep up the good work.

What size grips does Adam Scott use? Does he use a piece of grip tape on his clubs? Also, my girlfriend just got me a new S82 tour bag…just wondering what the guys store in them to fill the bag up? The tour blog is great.

Any word on the availability of the 909 drivers to the public?
